Tori and I walk through the door and check in. We sit in the waiting room for what seems like forever making small talk.
"Alyana!" The lady calls.
I grab Tori's hand, ignoring all the weird looks we're getting, and walk back to the room. Its a bright green room. I hop onto the table thing as the nurse asks what's wrong.
"I've been feeling sick, I have random cravings for random things, and I'm gaining weight," I explain.
She looks at me weird and says, "Ma'am. May I ask are you sexually active?"
I look at her and then back at Tori, my heart pounding.
"I had sex... A couple of months back.." I say.
"Did he use protection?"
I think back to that moment. Did he? I don't remember.
"I don't know."
"It sounds like your pregnant. Maybe you should go over to the pharmacy and get a pregnancy test. Or you can go over to the hospital and they can check."
I nod my head and grab Tori's hand. I rush out of the building and into the car. When I get in the car I break down crying. What if I am pregnant? Fourteen and pregnant? No. No. No. No. What about James? When he finds out what will he do? Will he stay?
Tori hugs me and then drives to the closest pharmacy. She goes in and leaves with a pregnancy test. The whole time we're riding to my house I'm crying. We get to my house and I grab the test from her.
I go to the bathroom and wait for the answer. Tori walks in after about 2 minutes.
"How long does it take to answer?" She asks.
"I didn't read it."
"Should be around five minutes."
I look at her and she sits down on the floor next to me. She wraps her warm arms around me and puts her head against mine.
"If James decides not to stay, honey, I will," She whispers in my ear.
Her voice provides so much comfort. Its so sweet and sincere and sexy and amazing. We sit on the floor, intertwined, until we hear the beep meaning the test has it's answer. I look at the test.
Positive.
